About this ebook

 Is fake news being spread through social media as part of an information war?  Are political operatives publishing disinformation to smear the opposition and help their own agendas?  Who creates fake news, how does it spread, and can it be stopped?   

What are the real world effects of fake news stories that go viral?  Did it affect the outcome of the 2016 presidential election?  Or is ‘fake news’ a fake problem, designed to justify tighter control over the mechanisms of sharing information online to drive audiences back to brand name media outlets because their audiences and influence are dwindling?  

Media analyst Mark Dice takes a close look at the fake news phenomenon and the implications of mega-corporations like Facebook, Google, and Twitter becoming the ultimate gatekeepers and distributors of news and information.  

You will see the powerful and deceptive methods of manipulation that affect us all, as numerous organizations and political activists cunningly plot to have their stories seen, heard, and believed by as many people as possible.  

The depths of lies, distortions, and omissions from traditional mainstream media will shock you; and now they’re colluding with the top tech companies trying to maintain their information monopolies.  This is The True Story of Fake News.  

Ratings and reviews

Mark Dice's book tells a story that for those of us aware of the downword spiralling political correctness continuously dawning on Western societies, via the strong hold that mainstream media has on the the quality and depth of the news we get, is but a reminder, and a painful one, to how deep we've sunk by violent progressive liberalism. Good reminder that the fight for free speech and for freedom of expression is now full on with left leaning media organisations and social media companies attempting to shut 50% of the world population down. Don't let them win.

Book was totally addicting to read I like the part of book that has author describing being young and going to video stores to rent video's when he was young. I remember those days when Joe Moakley was basically the conservative king of the Democrats!. Things got done back then. Now it's the republicans fight~ all the way!. Only thing in their way is FAKE NEWS!!!!

Mark's book is a delight to read. Packed with numerous topics and examples one really gets to see how ridiculous the mainstream media has become. The incredible amount of footnotes shows the effort put into researching these topics). The one thing putting this book back is just how broad it is. The topics are many and I felt a lot more could be said about them in detail. Still the book is well researched and worth the read.
